PROPOSED MILDURA RAILWAY.
MILDURA, Thursday.
As the Government seems disinclined to
allow the proposed syndicate to build the Mildura railway, a proposal has now been submitted to the effect that if the Govern- ment build the line the syndicate will guarantee the state against loss either by working expenses or interest. The Mil-
dura shire authorities have been asked whether they will join in such a guarantee, and the president of the shire has replied that the ratepayers a year ago agreed to pledge the municipal fund in support of such a scheme, and that he had no doubt that public opinion was still strong in the
same direction.
